Electrostatics Question 154

Question: The potentials of the two plates of capacitor are +10V and ?10 V. The charge on one of the plates is 40 C. The capacitance of the capacitor is [AFMC 2005]

Options:

A) 2 F

B) 4 F

C) 0.5 F

D) 0.25 F

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is $ 10V-(-10V)=20V. $

Capacitance $ =\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{40}{20}=2F. $
